Glory to the eminent professors and their universities! Glory to you.Mr.President.who are the first amongst them.In the name of the University of Paris I have the honor to award the Insignia and diploma of Doctor to one whom posterity will salute with the surname The Righteous\u2014President Wilson.\u201d Wilson's Acknowledment, President Wilson, in acknowledging the honor bestowed upon him, said: \u201cI feel very keenly the distinguished honor which has been conferred upon me by the great University of Paris, and it is very delightful to me also to have the honor of being inducted into the great co: pany of scholars whose life and fame have made the history of the University of Paris a thing admirable among men of cultivation in afl parts of the world.\u201cBy what you have said.Sir.of the theory nf education which has been foRowed in France and which T tried to promote in the United States.T am tempted to venture upon a favorite theme.I have always thought that the chief object of education was to awaken the spirit, and that, inasmuch as a literature whenever it has touch- od its great and higher notes was an expression of the spirit of mankind, the hest induction into education was to feel the pulses of humanity which had beaten from age to age through the universities of men who had penetrated to the secrets of the human spiek.\u201cAnd T agree with the intimation which has been conveyed today that the terrible war through which we have just passed has not nnly heen à war between nations.but that it has been also à war between systems of culture-\u2014the one system the aggressive system, using science without conscience.stripping learning of its moral restraints and using every faculty of the heman mind te do wrong tp the whole race; the other system reminiacent of the high traditions of men, reminiscent of all these strug- les.somelof them nhacure, but others closely revesied tn history, of men of indomitable spirit everywhere strug- aling towards the right and seeking above all thinæe else to be free.\"The trunnh of freedom in this war means that that enirit shall now dom.inste the world.There is a oreat wave of moral forcen mowing through the world.and every man who onnoses himeelf to that wave will go down to disornee.\u201cThe task of those who are gathered here, to make the settlements of \u201chis peace is greatly simplified by the fact thay they are the masters of no one.Thev are the servants of man.RESISTS CAPTURE DESPERATE PIGHT IN WOODSTOCK BARN\u2014SUPPOSED ACCOMPLICE ALSO TAKEN, Woodstock, Ont., Dec.21\u2014Follow- ing a desperate fight in the hay mow of a barn here this morning, the police arrested Fred.Donnelly, of Sherbrooke, Que.The man concealed in the hay and detected drew a 38 calibre revolver but he was uuable to use it On being searched he was found ta have over $100 in money and a dozen or so dymamite fuses.He refuses to make a statement but the police are holding him for further investigation Donuelly was badly besten up before he was overpowered.At noon today the police captured a man who gave his name as Thomas Gormen and bis home Peterboro.He is believ- «d to be Dennelly's partner.On searching him police officials found Victory bonds worth $7,100, $78 cash and a 38 calibre revolver.\u2014\u2014 kind.And if we do not heed the mandates of mankind we shail make ourselves the most conspicuous and deserved failures in the histqry of the world.; League of Nations.\u201cMy conception of the league of nations is just this\u2014that it shail operate as the organized moral force of men throughout the world and that whenever or wherever wrong and az- gression are planned or contemplated, this searching light of conagience will be turned upon them, and men everywhere will ask: \u2018What are the purposes that you hold in your heart against the fortunes of the world?\u201d \u201cJust a little exposure will settle most questions.If the Centra! Powets had dared the purposes of this war for a single fortnight, it never would have happened.and if.as should he, they were forced to discuss it for a year.the war would have been inconceivable, \u201cSo 1 feel that this war is, as has heen said more than once today, intimately related with the university spirit.The university spirit is intolerant of all the things that put the human mind under restraint.It is intolerant of everything that seeks to retard the advancement of ideals, the acceptance of the truth, the purification of life.And every university man can ally himself with the forces of the present time with the feeling that now at last the spirit of truth.the spirit to which universities have devoted themselves.has prevailed and is triumphant.\u201cIf there is one point of pride that I venture to entertain.it is that it has been my private privilege in some measure to interpret the university spirit in the public life of a great nation, and Ÿ feel that in honaring me today in this unusvel and conspleuous manner you have first of all honored the people whom I represent.The spirit that 1 try to empress 1 know to be their spirit, and In proportion as 1 serve them T believe that Ÿ advance the rause of freedom.\u201c1.ar hefore.wish to thank you, Sir, from the bottom of my heart for à distinction which has in a singular way crowned my academic career.\u201d MORE ATROCITIES ; BY BOLSHEVIK.Copenhagen, December 29\u2014In addition to the execution of Bolsheviki officials of 3 number of alleged coun- ter-revolutionaries at Prkov, 140 miles south-west of Petrograd, it |s reported that the Bolshevik have shot a number of leading inhabitants in the Ostrov district, which lies about 36 miles to tha sansh of Pekov.AND (TALIAN CASUALTY LISTS LATTER LOST HALF MILLION, PORMER THREE MILLION MEN.Paris, Decembe.81\u2014(By The Associated Press)\u2014Five hundred thousand Italians lost their lives in the war.Of this number 300000 were killed in action.This statement was made to the correspondent today by Salvatore Barzilai, former member of the Ttal- M.H, PIPER QUEBEC, MONDAY, DECE MBER 23, 1918, WITH TOILS CLOSING IN ACCUSED WIPE MURDERER CHEATED GALLOWS.Muskegon, Mich, Dee.31\u2014Within a foot of a guard who had been stationed outside his cell, to thwart any attempt at suicide, Milo H.Piper, local insurance broker, charged with HANGED'A WAR SERVICE HIMSELF I CELL] CHATTY FOR ALL CANADIANS 1 CABINET PASSES ORDER IN i PLACE OF POST DISCHARGE PAY.Ottawa, Ont, Dec.#2\u2014An Order- tonight.Offic'als of the jail for à \u2018 payment of u \u2018war service gratuity\u201d the murder of Miss Fried: \\Veichman, © in-Council was Saturday passed by of Chicago, hanged h'mself in his cell , the Cabinet Council authorizing the time denied that Piper had ended his ) life, but after an examination, Dr.| to be payable to the naval and land Samuel A.Jackson, County Physician, | forces of Canada, in place uf post dis- anounced the accused man was dead \u2018charge pay.Under th's enactment] Piper, it is said, removed his collar, : the amount to be paid is graduated!
